Cleveland forebodes peril to the republic
on account OF the increase Of the surplus in
the treasury. But Blaine does not anti
cipate any trouble arising from an over
flowing treasury. Tho republic demands
a great many diversl6ed improvements. 1t
would indeed be great calamity u the
management Of the government should
fall into the hands OF men who should fail
10 feresce and provide for the wants of the
people. The illiteracy OF some portions IL
getting TO lie fearful. We should lie very
rsucl IN sympathy with Cleveland IL lie
should express M much fear uf the evils
arising from the want OF u common school
education instead of those which might
arise from y very large national income,
II would not lie a very difficult enterprise
to eSpend sone millions in schooling the
thousands Of foreigners who are flncking
to our shores-polluting the esculchcon
Of the republic with ideas Of anarchy aud
l.ztretto notions. Our common school
system needs revision aud Improvement.
The wellnre of the republic demands that
every native and foreign born citizen
should become acquainted with our con-
siitutlon and laws. A republic cannot be
prepeiuNted when large portion of the
people are mentally and morally in the
condition of cattle. We repeat il, il we
mean to save the republic we must edu-
cate the great masses OF the people. We
do not mean simply TO teach them how TO
spell, read and write and cipher, but teach
them the difference between right and
wrong. There is n great demand ior
honest men. We have great men and
smart men enough, men that will swell
and cheat and steal aud swear, men who
make this sort OF business constant study
night and day. Let men learn 10 fenr
God and the devil both. In other words,
let men learn 10 do right in spite Of the
devil and out OF due respect TO God, who
has done too much for the welfare of the
race to lie slighted, abused or disobeyed
The Bible must be taught in our schools OF
the reprint ia failure. The experiment
has been tried over and over. If we mean
to live and prosper as a nation, let us in
vest several millions in the education ol
the people, one and all. M.

What Is IL?

EDITOR JOURNAL: The report OF pro-
ceedings in the Village Council which ap-
peared in the JOURNAL OF last week, in
vite the attention of the citizens, and is
entitled to criticism by them. In relation
to the Way Library fund, and all matters
pertaining to that estate in which the
people OF Perrysburg are concerned, am
informed by Mr.. D. X. Hollenbeck, tie
acting trustee, that he has paid to the
Council OF Perrysbnrg, $12.5OO of the
$4,000 named by Mr.. Way in his will.
He also states that he has always stood
ready TO give information to duly author
lied members of the Council on all mat
ters pertaining TO the Way estate in which
his fellow citizens of Perrysburg were
concerned. 1t was not necessary for the
Council to have expended single cent in
order to obtain That information.
1t must be remembered that there are
iother interests besides those Of Perrysburg
the Way estate, and the trustees are
under bonds TO the amount of $30,000 for
the legal and proper discharge of their
duty. II, instead OF listening 10 the covert
insinuations of wrong doing in the man
ngement of this estate, there had been a
generous and proper manifestation OF con-
6dence in the trustees, together with the
disposition Of united cooperation on the
part of the Council it would have been
better for all concerned.
Two years ago action was taken by the
Council to investigate m alters pertaining
10 the Way estate. Two members OF the
Council were appointed to perform that
duty, and one hundred dollars was by res
olution OF the Council taken from the vii
age treasury to pay them In advance oi
the pliIsntrophic dulies2 What has re-
suited thereirom? Simply this. The
prime operator in this disgrsceful grab OF
public money, has after months of della y,
copied from the Wood County Sentinel,
dated April 90, 1886, report published
by authority Of the Trustees OF the Way
estate and that copy the Committee have
| hlCu WIN iHc V h"Bc NOuHSii no 'uO icHui'
of their investigation, and an equivalent
for 500 which had been taken by them
from the public funds.
Permit me to say that the major part oI
the citizens Of Perrysburg regard it ns the
the dnty OF the Mayor aud Council to take
Official action In this matter, and let the
grab and its bene6ciarles stand exposed
This % a measure Of Justice which is due
TO the Council by whose authority thit
shameleps aud INSCRIPTIONS grab wat
made possible.
II becomes the duty Of every citizen, let
him he Democrat or Republican. to enter
his protest against such unscrnpnlous acts
on the part of those whom they have
elected 10 Represent them.
These are The unsolicited expressions OF
public policy by one who. as Democratic
citizen, is Yours very Respectfully,

would come the highest authorities in the

outside Of the mansion Of learning and a
formal demand made by the teacher, then
by the directors, who would threaten
dreadful ihines il the door was not opened.
Il took all the encouragement at the COM
mand Of the larger boys to keep up tia
courage Of the smaller scholars, as the
teacher talked abont whips and the direc-
tors talked about breaking down the door
with rails. After this war Of words would
+. continue for a time, the teacher would
gave in and promise 10 give treat. Then
tho benches. hre- wood and other props
would be removed, the door thrown open,

would cease, the directors return home,

We publish in another column the
proceedings of meeting held at the G.
A. r. Hall on Friday evening last, which
partly explain themselves. The call for
the meeting was issued in bills only one
day previous to the meeting, and there
was only about one-tenth of the tax
payers of the village that knew any
thing about the meeting or its objects.
This is not the best way in our Judge
ment to get n fair expression on the sub
ject of issuing bonds to the amount Of
$95, 900 upon the corporation. We don't
wish it understood for a moment hat
we are opposed to improvements, for
that is just exactly what we want to
see. But is this the best way to make
them? That is the question. Judging
from Perrysburg's experience in two
county seat contests and contest for
the soldiers home, it would seem not
the best way, and the matter should be
very thoroughly considered and dis
cussed before final action is adopted
No bill should be permitted to pass the
Legislature for this purpose without the
same preeaution taken that was eNer-
cised by the late w. V. Way in the
execution of his will, requiring bonds
to be given for the faithful handling
and disposal of the funds raised from
5000 worth of bonds, the bond to be
equal to the amount thus raised
Another provision of the bill should be-
that the committee handling the fund:
should report to public meeting of oul
citizens quarterly or semi-annually the
progress of the work.
As it will take the Legislature som,
time to organize and get settled down t,
business, why not call general meet
ing of our citizens at the Town Hal
after the holidays; Call for a detailed re
port of the county-seat and soldiers
home committees; take an account o
the cash on hand from these sources
and also the amount in the treasury a
receipts from $l2,5OO from the Wa,
fund and that received from soufces o
taxation-and then start out on casl
basis the same MS any business ma
would do who means business. Th
JOURNAL simply makes these as sugges
tions for the consideration of all inter
e5ted parties.
